The vehicle is one of a fleet of cars used to take photos for Google’s Street View function for Google Maps, according to Google website information.

Google says on its Street View explainer website that “the latest car has 15 lenses taking 360 degrees of photos. It also has motion sensors to track its position, a hard drive to store data, a small computer running the system, and lasers to capture 3D data to determine distances within the Street View imagery.”
